How do you drive sophisticated AI use across your station? Start by developing AI-first best practices. Turn effective behaviors into practical playbooks and peer-led guidance. Reinforce what good AI use looks like daily to build a shared understanding.
Only a few days left to register for the Maynard Institute's Propel trainings. Sign up now for a range of powerful lessons: mije.org/the-propel-initiati…
As you advance in public media, choosing where to focus your professional development gets harder. Competing priorities pull you in every direction. Step back and diagnose your situation before investing your limited time in the wrong areas.
Always on the hunt for interesting people and projects to highlight related to diverse audience service. Is that you or someone you know? Reach out anytime! I'm always interested to learn more.
Managing a hybrid human-AI workforce in media requires new leadership skills. Your role shifts to orchestrating performance, safety, and alignment with journalistic goals. Start by building deep AI operational literacy across your organization.
So thrilled to join Colorado friends next month at the Rocky Mountain Community Radio gathering. Reach out if you'd like to catch up while I'm there!
A grand AI strategy won't deliver if your newsroom isn't set up to succeed. Diagnose before prescribing: assess where teams are aligned and where they resist. Get a ground-level view of day-to-day reality before forcing top-down tech mandates.
My wonderful friends at WPLN/WNXP are in the closing hours of pledge. Make your donation today, Nashville friends! Journalism and culture need you! wpln.org/
AI can quickly draft station communications, but the real challenge is exercising editorial judgment on that output. To collaborate effectively with AI, you must articulate what used to go unstated. The goal is to get better, not just faster.
Next month, the Maynard Institute hosts its next Propel training. It's free to California journalists and offers an incredible opportunity for you. Register here today: mije.org/the-propel-initiati…
When a station's strategic shift stalls, the culprit is often false alignment. Teams assume shared priorities, only to hit conflicting expectations later. Create clarity before execution: define who makes decisions and how disagreements get resolved.
With search engines aspiring to be answer engines, the day when public media gets no traffic from them is almost here. See how the Journal is thinking about it: digiday.com/media/how-the-wa…
Collaboration in public media is great, but there's a line between cross-departmental thinking and overstepping. If a colleague constantly weighs in on your turf with unsolicited opinions, it's time to set boundaries to protect your team's focus.
Only about two weeks remain to register for the Maynard Institute's next Propel training. Join me and some great trainers in support of California journalists. No cost. Go here, and hope to see you there: mije.org/the-propel-initiati…
As AI adoption grows, we need to be deliberate about managing it. We must establish systems that protect collaboration, trust and well-being. AI can handle the routine, but it's the human connection that fuels the creativity and empathy at the heart of public media.
Though collaboration in commercial TV news gets less attention, all networks and groups now develop complex internal structures and external digital partnerships to meet modern demands for more multimedia news content across more platforms. To watch: medium.com/centerforcooperat…
When pivoting your station's strategy, don't forget to assess whether major donors and underwriters will come along. Treat stakeholder alignment as a core part of strategic planning from the start, not an afterthought.
If your station is reviewing underwriting choices for the upcoming fiscal year, consider using my latest guide to speed up your copywriting process while ensuring legal compliance. Get it here. amazon.com/Underwriting-Publ…
In a landscape where breaking down silos between broadcast and digital is vital, job titles often matter less than actual capabilities. How do we identify expertise? By matching people to the right work. Rethinking how we deploy talent can unlock tremendous innovation.
Thanks so much for boosting our fall pledge campaign. We're still gratefully accepting your donations still at kqed.org/donate. As you turn to trusted sources for midterms coverage, this is the time to ensure it's there for you.
